I know. Why do Democrats still believe that America is inherently a racist country, When they were the ones who perpetuated racist policies in the first place. Jim Crow, KKK, The welfare state All of those things Democrats supported. Democrats say that America is America is racist, but really without the Democrats, racism as we know it would be virtually nonexistent.

Please educate me. If not slavery, what was the cause of the Civil War? You are correct in one aspect, though. Schools have pretty much ceased to exist in America, now we have indoctrination centers. Centers that try to revise history to make us believe that slavery was not the cause of the Civil War. It's okay, though because books that were written at the time of the Civil War, by people who were there and knew what was what still exist. You can read them and know without a shadow of a doubt that the people who fought the Civil War knew what they were fighting about and fighting for. Here's a revelation, it wasn't what revisionist historians want you to believe.

It was about power and control, the same reason as the American Revolution. Slavery was still legal in the north, although not practiced as much as in the south. The Civil War started in 1861, but it was not until 1865 that slavery was abolished. If the war was about slavery, why wait so long? Emancipation was a military policy and a good one at that. Tell the slaves they were free and let them help undermine the south's war effort. (However it didn't apply to confederate states then under Union control as he wanted to keep them on side. All men are created equal, well except the ones in our territory we want to keep quiet...)

Schools, aka, indoctrination centers are the ones who taught and teach that slavery was the primary and major cause of the civil war instead of teaching the truth. That truth used to come in college, but now even that paves over truth to coddle feelings and narrative.

Facts trump faux history

Since you are interested in history, faux or otherwise, let's get some historical facts correct. 1. Abraham Lincoln did not start the Civil War, it was thrust upon him, so what his motivations were or were not are unimportant. The South started the Civil War so only their motivation is important.
2. The South started the civil war over States Rights. STATES RIGHTS TO HOLD SLAVES!
3. Abraham Lincoln's views on slavery were well known and when he was elected and because he was elected, the South seceded from the Union because they believed their way of life (SLAVERY) was threatened. Slavery was the major cause that started the Civil War. Any of the minor causes, by themselves would not have been enough to cause the South to secede.
Prove me wrong

Only fact. South seceded legitimately from the union. States rights were about the Constitution and self determination, not just about slavery which was on its way out anyway. North refused to peacefully leave SC, thus initiating the aggression.

You can ignore the facts, but they is still the facts.
